Thanks

Generally, if your flight is on a 747 you'll probably have the new seats. There are just 2 747's left that do not have the new seats... check the seat maps on the specific flights just to be sure before buying.
If the plane is a 777 you will not have the new seats as UA will not begin reconfiguring those until next year.

sorry, i was mainly talking about SFO/LAX since I fly out of CA.
I am quite annoyed with the SFO-PVG downgauge though. I've been doing that route 3x/yr for the past 4 years, and when they finally switch to the new config, they take it away 3 months later.

SO Annoyed
My stupid flight SFO-ICN is on a rotten 777. 
I actually got to use miles to upgrade for that leg, and I am so disappointed in not getting the new seats. Oh well....guess it beats economy plus. (But still!)

Does anyone know if United 966 from IAD to FCO has / will have the new business cabins? I'm looking to book business class (using award miles) from SFO to FCO for travel on June 18th or June 19, 2010.
It doesn't look like United has any other flights to FCO except for the one at 6:09pm from IAD.

The HKG -- SIN tag to 895/896 is similarly new config out of ORD; the actual aircraft often swap between 895/896 and 869/862 at HKG.
857 SFO -- PVG is sometimes new, sometimes old. The remaining old configs are generally used either on the 857/858 rotation, or 835/836 between ORD and PVG.
